In December we visited Codfish Falls in CT just before sunset. This pond was just across the street from the falls. I loved the light from the setting sun on the distant trees and its reflections on the frozen pond.
East Dallas House Portrait Commission by Ann McCann 11 X 14" Watercolor & Ink
I love doing house portraits for my realtor friend. She gives them as presents to some of her home sellers. My challenge here was capturing bricks and driveway stones. I chose to do the bricks fairly tight but the stones very loose.
SOLD "Cosmos Calypso" by Ann McCann 12 X 16" Watercolor & Ink
I’m glad a customer saw this at my studio and liked it as much as I do. It feels like a flower dance to me so I named it calypso!
"Anna TX" by Ann McCann 9 X 12"Plein Air Oil
I painted with the McKinney Plein Air group yesterday. It was 42 degrees and windy, but we were able to find a somewhat warm spot. This is what northern Texas looks like in the winter!
"In the Wind" by Ann McCann 12 X 16" Watercolor
This dandelion is spreading its seed pods to the wind. They may come to your yard! There are lots of silver sparkles here that don’t show in the photo.
"Cabin #1" by Ann McCann 16 X 20" Oil
Along Route #6 on Cape Cod, there is a row of tourist cabins with the bright turquoise one out front. I couldn’t resist painting them!
"December Sunrise" by Ann McCann 16 X 20" Oil
My bedroom window in Connecticut faces east, and the late winter sunrises are glorious.
"Dandelions" by Ann McCann 5 X 7" Watercolor
This is one of greeting cards. Playing with ideas for “airborne objects.”
"Pine Forest in Snow" 12 X 9" Watercolor by Ann McCann
We have had snow in CT and snow in Dallas. Great winter for us. I boldly signed my name in red. Not sure what I think of that!
"Storr's Woods at Sunset" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Watercolor
This is my view every late afternoon at 4:30 pm. I will miss this in Dallas!
"Holiday Floral" by Ann McCann 12 X 12' Watercolor
Red poinsettia and amaryllis decorate these winter greens with touches of gold and turquoise. It captures the spirit of the season.
"Laura's Wildflowers" by Ann McCann at the Dutch Art Gallery thru December 24
I painted this 9 X 12” plein air oil in the wildflower fields behind the George Bush Library. The flowers are fire wheel, horsemint (a type of bee balm) and basket flower. The color palette is unusual but it really works!
SOLD at Art Walk East (Nov 9)"Spring Duo" by Ann McCann 8 X 8" Oil
When spring comes to Texas, all I want to paint are Texas wildflowers. Here is a duo of bluebonnet and Indian paintbrush. Together they glow.
SOLD 2 Pastry Treats by Ann McCann Oil Paintings
These two paintings sold at the Art Walk East event on November 9, 2024. I have 4 more pastry/gelato treat paintings. They would make great holiday presents, especially a group of them. They would be lovely in a kitchen or dining room.
